**all coming from an airpods & airpods pro 2 user**
Two notes about me:
* I have a pretty average sized head & ears
* I wear glasses

Thoughts:
– Noise isolation is way better than people give credit for, works about as well as the active noise cancellation on my airpods pro 2.
– I can FEEL the bass.
– Can hear all kinds of details in music (like when I upgraded to airpods pro but slightly better than even those). The AirPods gen 2 did that for me, then the AirPods Pro 2 did it again, and now these are doing the same.
– Electronic music sounds absolutely amazing. Better than any other headphones or speaker I’ve heard.
– Classical sounds amazing—way better than AirPods Pro 2.
– Folk sounds amazing, & it’s like someone’s playing a really high end guitar right next to me while also serenading me.
– Piano also sounds especially amazing
– Case is slightly padded, but leaves a lot to be desired there—they also barely fit (see pictures).
– They feel durable, even at hinges (which shocked me).
– They DO fingerprint easily, if that matters to you.
– Box is very sleek & giftable.
– Not having the automatic ear detection is really nice for when I lift one side up to hear someone or something.
– They are more comfortable than AirPods Pro, even with memory foam ear tips on those. But they do get slightly annoying with glasses but there is a sweet spot where it’s not bad (if I angle the headband towards the back of my head instead of having it straight up and down). But it’s not so uncomfortable that I don’t want to use them. Merely a minor inconvenience.
– I ever so slightly wish I could see the battery percentage on my phone while charging, but it’s not any real inconvenience.
– The micro-USB charger is potentially going to be a slight inconvenience because they wear out—USB-C or a lightening cord would’ve been way better.
– Pairing with an iPhone is extremely easy.
– The included carabiner for the case is a nice afterthought, but it’s a super flimsy carabiner and the loop keeping it on the case is tiny and I wouldn’t trust it. If it were better sewn and had a bigger loop, that’d be fantastic. I CAN attach an aluminum locking carabiner, but it’s just barely big enough for that.
– Charging seems pretty fast, and while I do wish it would show me the percentage while charging, I really appreciate seeing the percentage in the battery widget while connected because other non-apple Bluetooth headphones don’t have that and I’m left guessing how much is left on the tiny control center icon with those.

In sum, I HIGHLY recommend these if you’re looking for good bluetooth headphones and don’t have $400+ to spend. I snagged them for $99.95, and I couldn’t be happier. They’re definitely a good value at $200, but they’re mind blowing at a part-time, minimum wage budget. Almost every feature has been either mind blowingly fantastic, but those that aren’t are barely worth commenting on.

Are they perfect? No. Should one expect perfection at this price? Absolutely not. I’d highly recommend buying if they’re in your budget!!!
